About

Public Health England awarded a contract to Oxford Immunotec for the provision of T-SPOT® Discovery SARS-CoV-2 assay tests as part of the National Immunisation Programme.

The contract, valued at AUD 350,000, commenced on 01 September 2021 and ends on 31 January 2023, with an option to extend for up to 12 months.
